Description
Houston, the largest city in Texas, has always been a dynamic metropolis, filled with historic and economic significance as well as cultural charm. Journey into its past over 190 picturesque vintage postcards with images from the early twentieth century. The pride of Houston is clearly displayed in hand-tinted cards that depict the monument of Sam Houston, the city's name sake, and the San Jacinto Memorial that memorializes an important battle in the Texas Revolution. View the magnificent Gulf and Esperson buildings, the Hermann and Sam Houston parks, and the lovely scenes ranging from the Houston Channel to the busy main streets of commerce and tradition. Approximate dating and values are included.
